Blue Catfish
While not typically known as a blue catfish hotspot, the waterways near Sharon, North Dakota, might offer some surprises for adventurous anglers willing to explore. Blue cats are less common in this region than other catfish species, but they can be found in larger river systems that connect to the Missouri River basin. Targeting blues here requires a bit more effort and research. Focus your attention on the deeper sections of the rivers, especially near structure like submerged trees or rocky outcroppings. Summer is generally the best time to target them, when the water is warmer. Use larger cut bait, such as whole or cut sucker, to entice a bite. Be prepared for a fight, as even smaller blues are powerful fish. Access can be limited in some areas, so scouting for public access points or boat ramps is essential. Remember that blue catfish are not as abundant as channel or flathead catfish in this area, so responsible fishing practices are crucial.
